[QUOTE="klmno, post: 236284, member: 3699"] They told me in Dec that it depends on the amount and extent of cutting- apparently, since it's so common these days, cutting on the arm (not at the wrist) is not enough to claim "acute". When I got him tdo'd in Dec for cutting, it was because he did it several times then told me "there's nothing left to cut but my wrist" and I considered that a threat for suicide. This will lead to him being tdo'd or arrested- I'll just wait until paperwork has floated around to a few people first. I do think he needs Residential Treatment Center (RTC)- I'm worried though because every place he's gone (psychiatric hospital, detention, anger management class) he's learned worse things he can do instead of being around kids who are encouraging NOT to do those things. Maybe that's where his own choices come into play. But he's so vulnerable to peer pressure and doing what those around him think is "cool", he'll do anything that another teen boy suggests or laughs about. [/QUOTE]
